Universal Robina (PSE:URC)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Universal Robina Corporation is a branded food product company with operations in the Philippines and internationally, and it has a market capitalization of ₱161.32 billion.

Operations: Universal Robina Corporation generates revenue from its Branded Consumer Food segment, which accounts for ₱135.40 billion, and its Agro-Industrial and Commodity Food segment, contributing ₱62.84 billion.

Dividend Yield: 7.1%

Universal Robina Corporation's dividend yield of 7.14% is among the top quartile in the Philippine market, yet it faces sustainability challenges due to a high payout ratio of 104.1% and cash payout ratio of 94.1%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings or free cash flows. Despite this, dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade. Recent leadership changes and amendments to company bylaws suggest strategic shifts that could impact future financial performance.

Aisin (TSE:7259)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Aisin Corporation manufactures and sells automotive parts, as well as energy and lifestyle-related products, with a market cap of ¥1.20 trillion.

Operations: Aisin Corporation's revenue is primarily derived from Japan (¥3.09 billion), North America (¥1.06 billion), China (¥590.47 million), ASEAN India (¥514.99 million), and Europe (¥310.67 million).

Dividend Yield: 3.5%

Aisin's dividend payments are covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 72.3% and 56.8%, respectively. However, the dividends have been volatile over the past decade, making them unreliable despite growth in payments during this period. The current yield of 3.46% is below Japan's top quartile dividend payers' average of 3.96%. Aisin trades at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, enhancing its appeal for value-focused investors.

Recent strong earnings growth and a share buyback program worth TWD 28.65 billion may support future stability, though dividend reliability remains a concern for investors seeking consistent income.
